  1. Electoral College and Gerrymandering Is in the time of now, not a viable democratic construct. A vote should be a vote and count as such. – The first time I heard about the Popular Vote in the USA.. Whaat!?! What does that even mean – You Vote for the candidate or party that you think should be the next to lead the country and that is about it. It is also far off to think that only two parties can represent the opinions of +325 Million citizen – A parliamentary structure would force politicians to actually do politics to get anything done – in such a construct they need to negotiate, win some lose some. Not everybody can be on the winning side all the time since that would essentially become a Fascistic setup and dismantle any ideologies presented. If the fragments of each of the two parties in the USA would be split up into what they actually believe then there would be several Parties in the USA. Republicans, Nationals, Conservatives, Christian Conservatives, Libertarians, Progressives, Green Party, Democrats and most likely a few more. it would mean no certainty to control either the Hosue or the Senate, and therefore spur real political debate on real political issues. As it is now nothing is being done. With Trump leading nothing can be done because he is Crazy, unpredictable and can not keep his mouth shut even to hide a scam – he will blatantly brag about anything for attention. And so the whole thing just evolves around his possible misdeeds and nearly nothing else. Even when the GOP had both the House and the Senate they only managed to get the tax deductions for the most wealthy – Their attempt to get a new health care plan was an immense failure, which just shows that they are not aligned in politics and so they should not be represented that way. Hillary vs Bernie was another example of two political directions that does not entirely line up and so they should not be represented that way. In the Land fo the Free, they should be freedom to choose who you think is the one to lead and elections not essentially coming down to only two choices. Republican Voters currently migrating to Democrats is good because of Trump, but parliamentary wise is a short term action stopping the current bleed and not a cure for a continued or rather renewed political diversity in the USA. Trump stirs so much havoc that he can openly say stuff like "We secured the oil and are considering what to do with it" without any large media taking notes and questioning it – that is how screwed up the situation is. Getting back to Normal seems like a very far away option, which properly nobody really knows what means anymore. Trevor Noah is always on point, sharp, witty and humane – he is able to see stuff from various sides and lining up the absurdity of so many things.
